This week we are looking at auto-buy authors but I've expanded it a bit to include auto-read since I do use my library quite a bit.
STEPHEN
STEPHEN KING - He pretty much is an auto-buy because I have collected his books for years. Eagerly awaiting "The Institute" this fall.
HUNTER SHEA - I am up for anything this author publishes. Sometimes there is a rare miss here or there but for the most part, I've loved the majority of his books.
DEANNA RAYBOURN - I love the Veronica Speedwell books and they are definitely auto-reads. I hope to give her Lady Julia Grey series a try soon as I really think I'll like it too.
JENN MCKINLAY - I adore the Library Lovers series and need to catch up on the Bluff Point books. She's definitely a fave!
JACKIE BOUCHARD - I hope Jackie releases something new soon because she only has one book I haven't read yet. To quote her she writes "stories of people & the dogs that change their lives! And the dogs never die at the end! "
JOE HILL - Auto-buy, no doubt about it.
SEANAN MCGUIRE/MIRA GRANT - I've often joked that if this author wrote a phone book, I'd want to read it!
STUART R. WEST - Love him and his horror books. Such a great guy and dog lover.
CHARLAINE HARRIS - So I've actually finished the Sookie Stackhouse series but have found I like most of her others better. I think her newer stuff just gets better and better.
BETHANY BLAKE - I NEED more Lucky Paws Petsitting Mysteries and am looking forward to her new spin-off of the series.
So there you have it. There are probably many more I'll be reminded of once I start seeing everyone else's lists. Did any of these make your list this week???
I think I've read ONE Stephen King book... The Dark Half or something? Maybe that was Koontz? Don't hate me! Scary/horror isn't my thing. I get, well, scared! ;)

Hey, there are plenty of books for everyone. If horror isn't your thing, that's cool - so much else to chose from! The Dark Half was a King novel, and movie. Both were decent.
DeleteI have never been a fan of Harris' Sookie series, but gosh her other stuff is just brilliant -- currently re-reading Grave Sight right now in fact.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Here Grave series really doesn't get enough press and I ADORE the Midnight, Texas books as well as her newest series - Gunnie Rose.
DeleteStephen King is an auto-buy author for sure. I’ll eventually read everything he’s written!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I've read quite a bit of his. Surprisingly it's some of his oldest stuff I need to read - Carrie, Cujo and a few more. I also want to do a reread of Christine and On A Buick 8.
DeleteYes to Seanan McGuire and Charlaine Harris! I cannot wait to get my hands on Harris' next Gunnie Rose book😁
ReplyDeleteI know. It looks like it's slated for January 2020. I need to see the cover though!
DeleteMost of these authors are new to me except King. I wasn't surprised to see him on your list :)
ReplyDeleteI bet not :)
DeleteSeanan McGuire is great! I really need to try a few of her other books. I've only read the Wayward children books
ReplyDeleteThat series is awesome. I can't wait for the new one because it revisits some of my favorites.
DeleteThat's cool that you have so many auto-buy authors! :)
ReplyDeleteCool but also bad on the TBR!
DeleteJenn McKinlay is an author I'd like to try, the next time I get into cozy mode. Deanna Raybourn is another author I'd like to try, and Hunter Shea's stuff looks fun!
ReplyDeleteYes you do! I also think you'd love the Veronica Speedwell books.
DeleteStephen King has popped up on a few lists this week. Nice choice there.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
Thanks and thanks for stopping by.
DeleteOnly a few of those authors I don't know a lot about! But I would agree with you on pretty much most of them! :)
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd be agreeing with some on here :)
DeleteI can't resist Charlaine Harris either!
ReplyDeleteI really wish she'd do more Midnight, Texas books.
DeleteI agree, I'm definitely more auto-read than auto-buy! I read a ton of Stephen King as a teenager but not too much of his more recent stuff.
ReplyDeletePeople love to complain about his recent stuff but I've really only been disappointed by a few of them.
DeleteWow! I didn't realize how much Joe Hill looks like his father. 😯
ReplyDeleteEspecially the older he gets.
DeleteI like authors who don't feel the need to kill the faithful hounds! I've had struggles with King's work over recent years and have a few still to read. I'm finding it tough to get motivated though!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth! Don't put a dog in a book (or movie for that matter) just to kill them!
DeleteOh, what a great list. We certainly share the love for a number of the same authors which makes me think I should definitely pick up the others on your list that I haven't yet read.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
Hope you like them if you give them a try!
DeleteSEANAN MCGUIRE is on my authors I want to try list. I really want to read the October Day series next year.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING list! Mine would be similar!! <3
